<h2>
<a NAME="Getting"></a>Getting Started</h2>

To get started with unit testing and JUnit read the article:
<a href="doc/cookbook/cookbook.htm">JUnit Cookbook</a>.
<br>This article describes basic test writing using JUnit 4.
<p>You find additional samples in the org.junit.samples package:
<ul>
<li>
SimpleTest.java - some simple test cases</li>

<li>
VectorTest.java - test cases for java.util.Vector</li>
</ul>
<P>JUnit 4.x only comes with a textual TestRunner.  For graphical feedback,
most major IDE's support
JUnit 4. If necessary, you can run JUnit 4 tests in a JUnit 3
environment by adding the following method to each test class:
<pre>
public static Test suite() {
   return new JUnit4TestAdapter(ThisClass.class);
} 

</pre>

      JUnit celebrates programmers testing their own software.  As a result
      bugs, patches, and feature requests which include JUnit TestCases have a
      better
      chance of being addressed than those without.  
      
      <br/>
      JUnit is forged on
      Sourceforge please use the tools <A
      href="http://sf.net/projects/junit">provided</A> for your submissions.

      <br/>
      JUnit source code is now hosted on <a href="http://github.com/junit-team/junit">GitHub</a>.
